The slab was re-discovered by Per Widerström in 2021. It was reused as a step in front of the entrance to an outbuilding located close to the Iron Age burial ground, just across the road, opposite the re-erected picture stone GP 186 Hejnum Bjärs I. It is more than likely that this kerbstone also comes from the burial ground. \n\nThe Bjärs cemetery extends to the south of the farm in three closely spaced areas immediately east of the country road, consisting of a total of more than 80 stone settings still visible today, rösen (cairns) and other circular stone mounds: RAÄ Hejnum 31:1 (northern area, 165 x 50 m), 113:1 (middle area, 150 x 60 m), 36:1 (southern area, 190 x 30–65 m). A small area of 90 x 30 m containing 7 stone settings immediately west of the road, belonging to Bjärs prästgård (parsonage), is obviously also part of the Bjärs necropolis (RAÄ 45:1). About 160 graves were excavated by Fredrik Nordin (Nordin 1893; Nordin et al. 1906) during the years 1885–86. Further investigations of the spot were conducted by Nordin during the early 1890s. The cemetery was used from the Roman Iron Age until the Viking Period. Most of the graves, however, date to the Vendel Period. The stones Hejnum Bjärs II–V were found in the north-western corner of the northern cemetery area, close to the road and the stone Hejnum Bjärs I was found about 200 m further south, also close to the road, at the edge of the middle area. \nSO " }, { "type": "resource", "property_id": 282, "property_label": "Context and Discovery", "is_public": true, "@id": "http://www.gotlandicpicturestones.se/api/items/2232", "value_resource_id": 2232, "value_resource_name": "items", "url": "/s/index/item/2232", "display_title": "GP 186 Hejnum Bjärs I", "thumbnail_url": "http://www.gotlandicpicturestones.se/files/square/d2d1fb3ce76c35e895fe25fc08614085cef17493.jpg", "thumbnail_title": "GP0186.JPG", "thumbnail_type": "image/jpeg" }, { "type": "resource", "property_id": 282, "property_label": "Context and Discovery", "is_public": true, "@id": "http://www.gotlandicpicturestones.se/api/items/2233", "value_resource_id": 2233, "value_resource_name": "items", "url": "/s/index/item/2233", "display_title": "GP 187 Hejnum Bjärs II", "thumbnail_url": "http://www.gotlandicpicturestones.se/files/square/a04b570d17e04fce3bb96542aae745f68084a303.jpg", "thumbnail_title": "GP0187.jpg", "thumbnail_type": "image/jpeg" }, { "type": "resource", "property_id": 282, "property_label": "Context and Discovery", "is_public": true, "@id": "http://www.gotlandicpicturestones.se/api/items/2235", "value_resource_id": 2235, "value_resource_name": "items", "url": "/s/index/item/2235", "display_title": "GP 189 Hejnum Bjärs III", "thumbnail_url": "http://www.gotlandicpicturestones.se/files/square/ec10dacbe80f9dc8ab26d97ea7cbad4b52371f7d.jpg", "thumbnail_title": "GP0189.jpg", "thumbnail_type": "image/jpeg" }, { "type": "resource", "property_id": 282, "property_label": "Context and Discovery", "is_public": true, "@id": "http://www.gotlandicpicturestones.se/api/items/2234", "value_resource_id": 2234, "value_resource_name": "items", "url": "/s/index/item/2234", "display_title": "GP 188 Hejnum Bjärs IV", "thumbnail_url": "http://www.gotlandicpicturestones.se/files/square/51d0f23e41e088f2041b2d520e86f7642ed63eb4.jpg", "thumbnail_title": "GP0188.jpg", "thumbnail_type": "image/jpeg" }, { "type": "resource", "property_id": 282, "property_label": "Context and Discovery", "is_public": true, "@id": "http://www.gotlandicpicturestones.se/api/items/2228", "value_resource_id": 2228, "value_resource_name": "items", "url": "/s/index/item/2228", "display_title": "GP 182 Hejnum Bjärs V" } ], "ai2:measurementsMaterialAndCondition": [ { "type": "literal", "property_id": 283, "property_label": "Measurements, Material and Condition", "is_public": true, "@value": "The elongated limestone slab is almost completely preserved, 1.54 m long, 35.2 cm wide at its widest point and 14 cm thick.

According to Lindqvist (1933, pp. 105, 107; 1941/1942 I, pp. 21, 31–33), the kerbstones formed an edge chain which surrounded a grave mound, possibly with an erected Type A picture stone in the center. However, no evidence has been found to confirm that any of the erected Type A picture stones were placed within a grave mound (Larkin 2023a, p. 50). \n\nThe convexity and dimensions of the stone, the typical groove decoration on the narrow side and the preserved angled short side clearly suggest that this slab, together with a group of other stones of this specific shape, served as a recumbent kerbstone in the manner described by Lindqvist and confirmed not least by the find of GP 566–569 Hellvi Ire II:1–4. A reconstruction of a circular edge chain using multiple 3D models of Hejnum Bjärs 6 shows that the stones fit tightly together to form a 3.13 m diameter circle made of 6 full stones (Larkin 2023a, pp. 30–31, Appendix 2). This is similar in size to the Hellvi Ire II edge chain (Stenberger 1936, pp. 80, 82, figs. 2–4; Lindqvist 1941/42 I, fig. 1; II, p. 74). The same pattern of grooves on the outer narrow convex side is also seen on the outer narrow sides of the GP 377–381 Stenkyrka Lillbjärs VI and GP 382 Stenkyrka Tystebols II kerbstones. \nCJL/SO " }, { "type": "resource", "property_id": 287, "property_label": "Type and Dating", "is_public": true, "@id": "http://www.gotlandicpicturestones.se/api/items/2610", "value_resource_id": 2610, "value_resource_name": "items", "url": "/s/index/item/2610", "display_title": "GP 566 Hellvi Ire II:1" }, { "type": "resource", "property_id": 287, "property_label": "Type and Dating", "is_public": true, "@id": "http://www.gotlandicpicturestones.se/api/items/2611", "value_resource_id": 2611, "value_resource_name": "items", "url": "/s/index/item/2611", "display_title": "GP 567 Hellvi Ire II:2" }, { "type": "resource", "property_id": 287, "property_label": "Type and Dating", "is_public": true, "@id": "http://www.gotlandicpicturestones.se/api/items/2612", "value_resource_id": 2612, "value_resource_name": "items", "url": "/s/index/item/2612", "display_title": "GP 568 Hellvi Ire II:3" }, { "type": "resource", "property_id": 287, "property_label": "Type and Dating", "is_public": true, "@id": "http://www.gotlandicpicturestones.se/api/items/2613", "value_resource_id": 2613, "value_resource_name": "items", "url": "/s/index/item/2613", "display_title": "GP 569 Hellvi Ire II:4" }, { "type": "resource", "property_id": 287, "property_label": "Type and Dating", "is_public": true, "@id": "http://www.gotlandicpicturestones.se/api/items/2422", "value_resource_id": 2422, "value_resource_name": "items", "url": "/s/index/item/2422", "display_title": "GP 377 Stenkyrka Lillbjärs VIa", "thumbnail_url": "http://www.gotlandicpicturestones.se/files/square/109ddffce2d2033946a22eac345caa7c391d82ea.jpg", "thumbnail_title": "GP0377.jpg", "thumbnail_type": "image/jpeg" }, { "type": "resource", "property_id": 287, "property_label": "Type and Dating", "is_public": true, "@id": "http://www.gotlandicpicturestones.se/api/items/2423", "value_resource_id": 2423, "value_resource_name": "items", "url": "/s/index/item/2423", "display_title": "GP 378 Stenkyrka Lillbjärs VIb", "thumbnail_url": "http://www.gotlandicpicturestones.se/files/square/68e3362a2f23ee6f4e87a0658b489412e407aba9.jpg", "thumbnail_title": "GP0378.jpg", "thumbnail_type": "image/jpeg" }, { "type": "resource", "property_id": 287, "property_label": "Type and Dating", "is_public": true, "@id": "http://www.gotlandicpicturestones.se/api/items/2424", "value_resource_id": 2424, "value_resource_name": "items", "url": "/s/index/item/2424", "display_title": "GP 379 Stenkyrka Lillbjärs VIc", "thumbnail_url": "http://www.gotlandicpicturestones.se/files/square/6a8f165cdddfe79e0cbc1bdb529d31f184764583.jpg", "thumbnail_title": "GP0379.jpg", "thumbnail_type": "image/jpeg" }, { "type": "resource", "property_id": 287, "property_label": "Type and Dating", "is_public": true, "@id": "http://www.gotlandicpicturestones.se/api/items/2425", "value_resource_id": 2425, "value_resource_name": "items", "url": "/s/index/item/2425", "display_title": "GP 380 Stenkyrka Lillbjärs VId" }, { "type": "resource", "property_id": 287, "property_label": "Type and Dating", "is_public": true, "@id": "http://www.gotlandicpicturestones.se/api/items/2426", "value_resource_id": 2426, "value_resource_name": "items", "url": "/s/index/item/2426", "display_title": "GP 381 Stenkyrka Lillbjärs VIe" }, { "type": "resource", "property_id": 287, "property_label": "Type and Dating", "is_public": true, "@id": "http://www.gotlandicpicturestones.se/api/items/2427", "value_resource_id": 2427, "value_resource_name": "items", "url": "/s/index/item/2427", "display_title": "GP 382 Stenkyrka Tystebols II", "thumbnail_url": "http://www.gotlandicpicturestones.se/files/square/7a5cbd859bfb92d9d408e462dc10c7360b0906f2.jpg", "thumbnail_title": "GP0382.jpg", "thumbnail_type": "image/jpeg" } ], "ai2:shapeLindqvist": [ { "type": "customvocab:3", "property_id": 305, "property_label": "Lindqvist Shape", "is_public": true, "@value": "Kerb stone" } ], "ai2:typeLindqvist": [ { "type": "customvocab:2", "property_id": 303, "property_label": "Lindqvist Type", "is_public": true, "@value": "A (ca. 400-600)" } ], "ai2:typeLindqvistNote": [ { "type": "literal", "property_id": 304, "property_label": "Lindqvist Type Note", "is_public": true, "@value": "Kiststen *Listed as Ka = kantsten in JP (2003) p.187" } ], "ai2:runicInscriptionYesNo": [ { "type": "customvocab:5", "property_id": 317, "property_label": "Runic Inscription or not", "is_public": true, "@value": "No" } ], "ai2:references": [ { "type": "literal", "property_id": 288, "property_label": "References", "is_public": true, "@value": "Lamm/Nylén 2003, p.187; Larkin 2023a, pp. 30–31, Appendix 2; b, p. 31.
